  • a normally closed solenoid type fuel injection valve which is one of the known fuel injection valve types, representing an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the advantages of the present invention are not limited to application of the invention to a solenoid type fuel injection valve.
  • the fuel injection valve as shown in FIG. 1 , is provided with a yoke 105 , formed of a magnetic substance, surrounding a solenoid coil 109 ; a core 106 , which is located at the center of the solenoid coil 109 and one part of which is in contact with the core 106 ; a valve body 102 , which is lifted by a predetermined amount when the solenoid coil 109 is excited; a valve assembly 103 having a seat face 110 facing the valve body 102 ; a fuel injection chamber 101 , from which fuel that flows through a gap between the valve body 102 and the seat face 110 is injected, and a plate member 111 having a plurality of injection holes 107 and which is disposed under the fuel injection chamber 101 .
  • a spring 108 is provided as an elastic member which works to press the valve body 102 onto the seat face 110 .
  • the valve body 102 is in close contact with the seat face 110 .
  • Fuel is supplied from a fuel supply port under a pressurized state by a fuel pump (not shown).
  • a fuel passage in the fuel injection valve extends up to the closely contacted position of the seat face 110 with the valve body 102 .
  • the fuel is concentrated around the axial center in the fuel injection chamber 101 ; and, thereafter, the fuel flows along the plate member 111 radially in the outer circumferential direction and is injected through the plurality of fuel injection holes 107 toward an intake port of the engine, for example.

  • a feature of the present invention is that grooves 201 are formed in the vicinity of the respective injection holes 107 on the face of the plate member 111 in the fuel injection passage, and they extend along the circumferential direction of the respective injection holes 107 , as shown in FIG. 3 . Since the grooves are provided so as to surround the respective injection holes 107 , the respective grooves are naturally formed near the respective injection holes 107 . Further, grooves other than the annular grooves 201 , as shown in FIG. 3 , can be used. For example, FIG. 4 shows a modification in which, instead of continuous annular grooves, four rectangular shaped grooves 401 are provided around the circumference of each of the respective injection holes.
  • Each of the grooves 401 is configured in such a manner that, when the length of the rectangular groove 401 in the circumferential direction of the injection hole is d and the length thereof in radial direction of the injection hole is t, the ratio d/t is selected to be more than 1, so that d>t.
  • the reason for this is that, in order to induce an overflow effect due to the presence of the grooves more efficiently, it is preferable that the circumferential length d is longer than the radial direction length t. Therefore, the most preferable configuration is the use of circumferential grooves.
  • the number thereof is not limited to four, and may be set in consideration of the allowable physical space therein.
  • a flat portion (plane portion) 203 is formed between adjacent injection holes 107 outside of the grooves 201 .

  • the groove 201 is disposed close to the injection hole 107 in such a manner that the distance l is shorter than the distance L.
  • the flat portion (plane portion) 203 contributes to an enhancing of the overflow inducing effect, which will be explained later.
  • FIGS. 5 through 7 The function and advantages of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 through 7 .

  • FIG. 8 (A) shows an example wherein a rectangular groove 201 A is formed
  • FIG. 8B shows another instance wherein a V shaped groove 201 B is formed
  • FIG. 8 (C) shows still another instance wherein a groove 201 C is formed so that the inner side wall inclination angle near the injection hole is designed to be steeper than that remote from the injection hole; and
  • FIG. 8 (A) shows an example wherein a rectangular groove 201 A is formed
  • FIG. 8 (D) shows a further instance wherein a groove 201 D is formed in which the top level of a projection 204 around the injection hole 107 is formed to be higher by a height H than that of the surface of the plate member 203 at the upstream side of the groove.
  • the groove configurations as shown in FIGS. ( 8 A) through 8 (D) can basically form the overflows 502 .
  • the bottom shape need not be an acute angle, but can be rounded.
  • the height H is preferably smaller than the diameter ⁇ D of the injection hole 107 , so as to form the overflows.
  • the overflows 502 are formed at a position where the grooves 201 are disposed; and, further, through the formation of the contracted flows 602 in the fuel injection holes 107 , the maximum flow velocity at the fuel injection outlet portion is increased, whereby the turbulence of the gas and the liquid interface between the fuel and the air is enhanced, and the atomization performance is improved.
  • FIGS. 9 through 11 show vertical cross sectional views of nozzle portions of respective embodiments wherein the structures upstream of the plate member 111 of the fuel injection valve according to the present invention are formed respectively in a radial flow type, a collision flow type and a flat valve type.
  • a fuel contraction portion 901 which contracts the fuel flowing through the gap between the valve body 102 and the seat face 110 .
  • a fuel outwardly radiating chamber 902 which forces the fuel to flow toward the outer circumference; and, further, under the fuel outwardly radiating chamber 902 , a plate member 111 having a plurality of injection holes is provided.

  • FIG. 12 shows an example in which the fuel injection valve 1201 according to the present invention is mounted on an internal combustion engine. Since the fuel injection valve corresponds to a like solenoid type fuel injection valve as described with reference to the foregoing embodiments, a repeated explanation of the constitutional elements thereof is omitted.
  • the internal combustion engine as shown in FIG. 12 is constituted by a cylinder head 1202 , an intake valve 1203 , an ignition plug 1204 which ignites the mixture gas of fuel and air, a piston 1205 , a cylinder 1206 , an exhaust valve 1207 , an intake port 1208 which introduces air in to the cylinder 1206 , and an exhaust port 1209 which exhausts the combustion gas from the cylinder. Further, the fuel injection valve is provided with a connector through which an electrical current for driving the injection valve is supplied.
  • the intake valve 1203 is shown in a closed state. However, actually, when the fuel is injected in a spray from the fuel injection valve 1201 to the combustion chamber 1211 , the intake valve 1203 is opened.
  • the fuel injection start timing of the fuel injection valve 1201 may be either when the intake valve is actually opened or before the intake valve 1203 actually starts valve opening in view of the fuel flying time.
